FRIDAY: At the Bailey Barbecue, Julian Brewing Co.'s first two efforts are on tap: a pale ale and a stout, the latter served on nitrogen. The kitchen is serving pulled chicken and pulled pork tacos, while Highway 79 -- a band with an acoustic rock/country/Americana repertoire -- begins its free show at 8 p.m.

FRIDAY: Craftsman, the little not-so-old brewery from Pasadena, will be saluted at Johnny Brown's. Drafts (12 ounce pours) of Poppyfields Pale and Juniper Ale will cost $3; there will also be kegs of Monkey See, Monkey Do Double IPA and El Prieto Blackberry Sour.

SATURDAY: From noon to 5 p.m., KnB's "BeerBQ" features nine beers from New York state's joint U.S./Belgian brewery, Ommegang. The food will have a Belgian twist, too: brats infused with the brewery's abbey ale, Rare Vos, and shoestring fries served with garlic mayo and curry ketchup.
